defense attorney joey jackson is live in atlanta to explain why a judge would do this. joey, explain, why would a judge do this? >> explain away. first of all we have to understand this is an injunction. what is an injunction mean? it means we're going to slow down and there's going to be a hearing but pending that hearing the law will not go into effect. now get this, ashleigh, with regard to the law not going into effect, it won't go into effect for the three plaintiffs. everyone else, of course, will not be subject to this ruling because the judge limited that ruling to these three. so in essence, the judge said, right now, when you have an injunction it means there's a likelihood of success on the merits to those who sued, we'll have a full-blown hearing later but we're going to allow the plaintiffs to come to court and explain. >> you used that word that's so critical, merit. here's where i lost the plot. apparently this justice suggesting that these therapists, the three of them, who brought this suit, their free speech is somehow at risk if they can't treat these

they will take the defense of marriage act case. they will decide that case, but when it comes to whether states have to do same-sex marriage, have to allow it, they will let the political process run its course. you know, we're seeing polls now, a recent gallop poll show 53%, highest ever, supports same-sex marriage. in the election last month four states voted in favor of same-sex marriage. 33 states in a row previously had voted against it, so the momentum is certainly with supporters of same-sex marriage, but where the court -- how the court responds to public opinion is a complicated and not always entirely predictable subject. >> when are we going to find out how the courts will get involved? >> they don't announce when they are issuing orders in an afternoon. it could be 2:00 eastern. it could be 3:00 eastern. that is generally the range in which we should fine out, so it could be 15 minutes away. it could be an hour or so. or they could put it off for another week. they don't have to announce it in advance when they're going

don't forget that george zimmerman is arguing that he shot in self-defense when he killed that unarmed black teenager. he says that trayvon martin had bashed him in the nose, breaking his nose, and then hit his head repeatedly against a sidewalk. here is the photograph that police took in their cruiser that night. what's incredible is that we have not had access to this photograph until now, and it has been many months since this happened. this came by way of something called discovery. the state finally released this photograph to george zimmerman's lawyers in the case against him, and they, in turn, have released it to the media. it certainly does bolster his version of what happened, but don't forget, he is facing extraordinarily serious charges, murder charges in this case. there are two versions of this story. that is one piece of evidence, but albeit, a critical piece of evidence in this case. let me move on to they are this other story. this weekend kansas city chief player jovan belcher killed his girlfriend, the mother of his child, and then drove to the chiefs stadium and sho
